(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Fabulous school! My child attended k-6 grade there, and even with a revolving door in administration the teachers continued to be top notch! My child has completely blossomed and is ready for junior high. The teachers were positive, supportive, and approachable! The new construction has added a fabulous new gym that allows for sports on sight, as well as superb theater. Keep up the good work Mark West!

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Last year the school was great. This year it sucks. The new construction makes it extremely hard to pick up your kids because there is a traffic jam 15 cars back just to get into the parking lot. The yard duty people play favorites and the substitute teachers cuss. Huge disappointment.
